Carole received her wallet in the mail, no money of course. But she doesn't have to go through getting her driver license and store cards replaced. We know it was his girlfriend, found out other things are missing, but trying to get someone that deeply cares about her to believe it is difficult. We can offer her help, but if she is in denial we are wasting our time.
If you are looking for another organization to donate to this season, check this site. Found them a week ago, new to me.

I usually don't comment as I am awfully ashamed of my too basic english, but I'm so sad you had to face that much this year....Family can be so hard to deal with. We have a quote here, not sure it can translate well, but more or less it says "you can't make a donkey drink if he is not thirsty" - more or less no matter how much efforts you'll put on it, if someone doesn't want to listen, you can tell whatever you want they will not understand.... I hope the new year will be smoother for you & yours.

Marly, Thank you so much for the generous giveaway. The Prairie Schooler Santa in your blog is on my wish list at 123 Stitch!
I love seeing pictures of your decor, so simple and pretty.
I'm so glad Carole got her wallet back. Replacing the cards, etc. is the worst. But shame on the thief!
Merry Christmas to you and yours.....Cherie in WI

What a wonderful giveaway! I would love a chance to win. It is a shame about the whole wallet debacle, but the silver lining is not having to hassle with replacing the license and other cards. Hope someone will wake up soon and embrace the obvious! Have a very blessed Christmas Marly!

Glad your sister got the wallet back! You or she might want to keep an eye on the store cards and/or her credit scores for a while. Love your Santa bag, Marly!
Your santas are an inspiration to me as I have lots of patterns but have not done half of them, but seeing all of yours, I will be putting a real effort into getting more of them finished...completely!
You are so gracious to offer this gift certificate, and of course, I would love to be the winner! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and wish you far less drama in your life in 2019! Thank you!
I read every entry in your blog, along with TheSpinsterStitcher. It is very kind and generous of you to offer a gift.
What a generous giveaway. Thanks. I really enjoy reading your blog. I hope 2019 is full of stitching and completing many WIPs for all stitchers out in blogland. DRG
Your Santa bag was the design that inspired me to buy the chart when PS reproduced it. Please add me to the drawing! I am glad Carol was spared getting all that new stuff but still what a shameful thing to do to her.
Please add me to the drawing Marly. Glad to hear Carole at least got her wallet and drivers license back. Love your Santa Claus bag. I have that chart in my stash - must really get to it!
You are always so generous! I would like to be entered in your drawing. blessed (dot) gingram (at) gmail (dot) com
Glad to read Carol has the wallet back to save some troubles but sorry you have the other issue to deal with....123 is fabulous Thanks for your generosity to all Marly! Merry Christmas! LaNelle ....alss@paulbunyan.net
A real shame about the girl but maybe there is hope for her yet if she returned the wallet.
Hi, Your blog came up when I did a search on Salina Dunwoody sampler. I bought a copy of this chart quite a while ago as my mother's maiden name is Dunwoody. Would you have any more history of this sampler and Salina Dunwoody. Thanks.
Kathy
Merry Christmas Marly: Love the Santa Bag.
I am happy your sister got her billfold back, I would still file a police report, otherwise it will continue to be a problem.

That Is a handsome Santa! I've missed the wallet drama, will have to look back on it.
How difficult it will be to get help for his girlfriend-she will deny that she has a big problems. Hope you can solve this big problem.
Happy to hear Carole has her papers back.
Like your Santa and the little tree.
Have a great day
Greetings Truus from Holland
Gotta love that PS Santa!
Mairlyn
So glad and relieved that Carole has her wallet back. Glad she doesn't have to go through having cards renewed, etc.
I hope the girl friend will be a thing of the past and will not be visiting any of your family members ever again.
Love your Santa. Plan on doing my PS tree next year. Love all of them.
Want to do some small pieced to put on a small tree for next year too. Have any suggestions where I can find some ? Had some years ago, don't know where they are now.
Take care and have a good week before Christmas week. Time if flying.
Hugs,
Charlotte in Va.

Carole got her wallet back now that is suspicious. Of course the chance to win a certificate from 123 is great. My wish list is very long. House decorated, presents wrapped, just deciding on menu for 14 this year. I only cook turkey and ham in oven everything else is in crockpots. Easy and I like my food hot not the dreaded " buffet temperature". I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas day. MLV
Have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a safe and GREAT NEW YEAR. HAG in MI

Love the postman Santa as your blog header--I have that somewhere in this mess of craftiness. . . wonder if I will have time to stitch him? thank you for a chance at a giveaway!
A pox on the girlfriend. . . . I shall hiss at her in the Gaelic (yeah, I'm trying to learn it and I can remember the curses--who knew?? LOL) and Merry Christmas to you and yours. thank you again for making my days brighter.
Please enter me in your giveaway. I have a couple of Prarie Schooler Santa patterns that I dug out and although it is too late for this Christmas, I WILL have them next Christmas! Thank you!
